BMW interior trunk release cable may have been improperly installed, preventing the opening of the trunk from the inside.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the body trunk lid. Here is what owners need to know.
The interior trunk release cable may have been improperly installed, preventing the opening of the trunk from the inside. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 401, "Internal Trunk Release."
If a person were inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out, increasing their risk of injury.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the interior trunk release cable and properly install the cable, as necessary, free of charge.
